DAI Long loading times on EA Desktop

Me and my friend both downloaded to play through this game again. But playing it for me on pc i seem to have a 1 or 2 min loading time to get to the title screen, and then about 3-5 min loading time ...

    In this case, you want Origin in-game to be on.

    In case someone else is struggling with load times and found this thread: I've done a bit of experimenting with load times, and these are my findings.

    • Make sure Origin in-game is enabled. In other games, disabling it will improve performance, but not in Dragon Age Inquisition. This specifically affects the initial load time before reaching the main menu. Here's a comparison video I made.
    • If you have an AMD GPU, do not enable Mantle as the renderer. While Mantle may give a framerate boost when you have a lower end CPU, the load times are insane. Switching to DirectcX reduced my load times from Skyhold to the Hinterlands from 2 minutes to 18 seconds on a SATA SSD.
    • Turn off all online services to save a few seconds. I think it's because the game syncs to the Keep during loading screens.

    Edit: fixed typo
